puppy is on sale for 324.
it is marked down 10% from an original selling price of 360.
the markup from the original buying cost was 54.
360 - 54 = 306.
the original buying cost was 306.

306 was marked up 54 dollars to an original selling price of 360 and then marked down 36 dollars to the sale price of 324.
